I've discovered a new best friend - Correction Fluid. A line painted vertically on the mid-position of the indicator switch means that at a glance I can tell if I have left it switched on. A dash (made fluorescent orange with a highlight pen) which shows if the cut-out switch is operated and throttle position markings for 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 and full on the twistgrip means I now know exactly how many beans I am giving it to get the carburation set just right. - Oh how simple things can make a difference.

I've also used Tippex to put timing marks on the alternator. I agree -- great stuff.

I used it on the snail cams to adjust the back wheel! Just so I didn't have the count the little lugs each time...

I use it on my phone charger, so I can see which way up the socket goes to plug it in. Of course, this could be an age thing!

My partner has used it to paint 'R' and 'L' on my motorbike boots. This too could be an age thing.
